»The English and the American sound are the leading sounds in brass. What we play is different as far as the sound is concerned. Our articulation and staccato are different. The attack is harder. Our sound is dark and bigger.«

biography

»There are tendencies leading toward a uniform sound in brass. All quintets should play brilliantly, should have the same sound. I think that is awfully boring. I think it is good when you can hear that the music is Hungarian, Czech, British. We want to play Austrian-style.«
